The Strongest Engines in the 2026 Jeep and Dodge Lineup, Ranked and Explained

The Stellantis performance lineup that sits at Parkland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Spruce Grove covers a wider horsepower range than most dealerships on a single lot. From a hybrid powertrain that produces more torque than most V-8s to a supercharged eight-cylinder that resets expectations for an SUV, the current Jeep and Dodge engine roster is worth laying out in full.

This is a straight ranking by peak output -- horsepower first -- with the verified figures from documentation and a quick note on what each engine does beyond the number itself.

The Ranking: 2026 Jeep and Dodge Engines by Peak Horsepower

1. Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat -- 710 hp / 645 lb-ft

The supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V-8 in the Durango SRT Hellcat puts out 710 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque. This is the most powerful production SUV in North America, packaged in a three-row, AWD platform that also tows up to 3,946 kg (8,700 lbs). The 2026 Jailbreak model adds over 6 million potential customization combinations. Standard AWD with a torque split system that varies between 40/60 front/rear in Auto mode and 30/70 in Sport.

2. Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack -- 670 hp / 627 lb-ft

The Daytona Scat Pack is all-electric, producing 670 hp and 627 lb-ft from a 400-volt dual-motor AWD layout with a mechanical limited-slip rear differential. It reaches 0--96 km/h in 3.3 seconds. PowerShot mode adds 40 hp for 10 seconds when needed. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust delivers an auditory character unique to this platform. Drive Mode options include Sport, Track, Drag, Drift/Donut, and Launch Control.

3. Dodge Charger Scat Pack -- 550 hp / 531 lb-ft

The 3.0-litre SIXPACK H.O. twin-turbo inline-six produces 550 hp and 531 lb-ft -- the most powerful version of the Hurricane engine in production. Twin Garrett GT2054 turbochargers spin to 185,000 rpm with a peak boost of 30 psi. The engine delivers 88% of peak torque at 2,500 rpm and holds over 90% of peak torque from 3,000 to 6,000 rpm.

4. Jeep Wrangler Moab 392 -- 470 hp / 470 lb-ft

The 6.4-litre HEMI V-8 in the Wrangler Moab 392 is the only traditional V-8 in the current Jeep lineup. At 470 hp and 470 lb-ft, it pairs full off-road Wrangler architecture with V-8 output -- a combination that exists nowhere else in the segment. Ground clearance, approach angles, water fording, and the Rock-Trac 4x4 system remain unchanged from the standard Rubicon platform beneath it.

5. Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe -- 375 hp / 470 lb-ft (combined)

The Grand Cherokee 4xe's 2.0-litre turbocharged I-4 combines with electric motors to produce 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of combined torque -- matching the Wrangler 392's torque output. The 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery supports Level 1 and Level 2 charging at up to 7.2 kW. The 4xe also tows up to 2,722 kg (6,000 lbs) and carries the Trailhawk trim's Electronic Limited Slip rear differential.

6. Dodge Charger R/T -- 420 hp / 468 lb-ft

The SIXPACK standard-output engine in the Charger R/T produces 420 hp and 468 lb-ft. It uses the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo architecture as the Scat Pack but in a lower-boost state of tune. Standard AWD with rear-wheel-drive mode. Top speed: 270 km/h. Available in two-door coupe and four-door sedan configurations.

7. Jeep Grand Cherokee Hurricane 4 Turbo -- 324 hp / 332 lb-ft

The 2.0-litre Hurricane 4 Turbo in the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L uses Turbulent Jet Ignition technology -- an industry first for high-volume production -- to deliver 324 hp and 332 lb-ft with 90% of peak torque available from 2,600 to 5,600 rpm. The engine produces 162 hp per litre, outpowering most comparable four-cylinder engines. Range reaches up to 851 km on a single tank.

8. Dodge Durango GT HEMI V-8 -- 360 hp / 390 lb-ft

The 5.7-litre HEMI V-8 in the Durango GT HEMI produces 360 hp and 390 lb-ft. With the Tow N Go package, the Durango GT HEMI can tow up to 3,946 kg (8,700 lbs) with the two-speed transfer case in low range. Standard AWD with an active torque-split system.
